+title: micro-ROS at ROSCon France 2021
+author: Maria Merlan

+
+On June 23rd 2021, we presented micro-ROS at the [ROSCOn France](https://roscon.fr/) as invited speakers to contribute to the topic: micro-ROS: bringing ROS 2 to microcontrollers
+
+This session was presented by several partners of this project. The main objectives of this session were to introduce the micro-ROS framework, its architecture and current maturity as well as the default middleware Micro XRCE-DDS.
+
+First, Maria Merlan (eProsima) presented in detail a very clear and easy to follow introduction on how to bring ROS-2 to microcontrollers and the micro-ROS middleware architecture and the supported platforms.

+
+Secondly, Jan Staschulat (Bosch)  gave us precisions on the architecture and how to code with rclc.
+
+Finally Pablo Garrido (eProsima) performed a live demonstration on “using micro-ROS with the [ESP32 board](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32)”.

+
+At the end, they had a public chat with numerous questions by the French robotics community.
+We are happy about having been participants in the ROSCon France 2021 and therefore  contribute to further dissemination of the micro-ROS framework as well as to improve participation by French roboticists in global open source robotics activities.
